Henderson council adopts 25-year Transportation and Mobility Plan
Summary
The Henderson City Council unanimously adopted a 25-year Transportation and Mobility Plan after a staff and consultant presentation highlighting safety, multimodal connectivity and corridor studies; councilors were told some implementation is already underway and staff will pursue grants to fund priority projects.
The Henderson City Council voted unanimously on May 20 to adopt a 25-year Transportation and Mobility Plan intended to guide multimodal improvements across the city.
Principal planner Alejandra Fasikas, who led the presentation, described the plan as a citywide roadmap that analyzes the existing transportation network, maps crash concentrations from 2018–2022, and recommends projects and policies to improve safety, connectivity and transportation options over the next 25 years. "The vision of the plan is to have our neighborhoods and destinations seamlessly connected through a safe, accessible, multimodal transportation network," Fasikas said.
Consultant Jacob Snow said safety was the top priority identified through public outreach and staff analysis. He pointed to mapped concentrations of pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle crashes and recommended corridor and intersection studies for areas such as Boulder Highway/Lake Mead Parkway, Stephanie Street/Sunset Road and Green Valley Parkway/the Beltway. "Safety is at the foundation of this plan," Snow said, and he urged the council to prioritize filling sidewalk gaps, conducting walk audits near schools and implementing design changes that improve comfort for people who walk and bike.
Council members pressed staff on next steps and funding. Fasikas and Snow said some elements are already being implemented — including walk audits around schools — and staff are pursuing grants such as Safe Streets for All and NDOT project funding. Fasikas said a planned corridor study for Lake Mead Parkway, in partnership with the Regional Transportation Commission, is expected to be a roughly two-year process once a consultant is selected.
Mayor (speaker 1) praised the presentation, calling it "a nice road map to follow." After brief discussion, the council moved to adopt the plan; the motion, recorded by the meeting clerk, carried unanimously.
The council also adopted an accompanying resolution to advance the plan's recommendations and prioritize corridor studies as funding allows.
